Why so many AI projects stall at the pilot stage – and how KBC and daeo are changing that together
Many companies have launched AI initiatives over the past two years. Yet promising pilots often fail to reach day-to-day operations. Through their partnership, Kemény Boehme Consultants (KBC) and deAI Labs aim to close this gap, combining experienced consulting with technology that makes distributed company knowledge usable for AI.

The data foundation determines the path into practice
Data is a major reason why many AI projects stall. It has grown over time, is spread across numerous systems, comes in different structures, and sometimes still exists in analogue form.
ERP systems, SQL and Oracle databases, ticketing systems, and document repositories contain valuable knowledge. Preparing it so that AI can work with it reliably has often required costly, time-consuming data engineering projects. This makes the journey from an initial concept to a production application long and resource-intensive.
KBC and deAI Labs: Consulting meets sovereign AI
We are pleased to announce the partnership between Kemény Boehme Consultants (KBC) and deAI Labs. Our shared goal is to make AI usable where it creates measurable value: in procurement, product development, supply chain, and quality management.
Since 2007, KBC has supported international corporations and leading medium-sized businesses in their digital transformation, particularly in the technology and automotive industries. With expertise in development, procurement and supply chain, quality management, and transformation, KBC understands its clients' value chains in detail and knows where AI can have the greatest impact.
AI and human expertise working together
KBC's AI expertise builds on this experience. Since 2022, KBC has developed and tested its own AI solutions and used them in its daily consulting work.
The strength lies in combining AI with human expertise: AI handles demanding analyses, processes large volumes of information, and generates new insights. Experience, judgement, and the final decision remain with people.
daeo makes distributed company knowledge usable
deAI Labs complements KBC's consulting expertise with a new technological foundation: its sovereign AI platform daeo makes even very large, heterogeneous enterprise databases accessible through largely automated processing, allowing AI to find the information they contain in seconds.
Data remains under the company's control at all times. This provides a foundation for bringing AI applications into practice with less effort spent on data preparation and integration.
What the partnership means for companies
Together, KBC and deAI Labs / daeo combine an understanding of business value creation with the technology needed for productive AI. For companies, this means:
- Informed identification of the most effective AI use cases
- A significantly faster journey from concept to productive use
- Substantially less effort for data preparation and integration
- Full data sovereignty and independence from external platforms
Making the Mittelstand AI-ready together
We look forward to the trusted collaboration between our teams. Together, we want to make the Mittelstand AI-ready and help companies turn promising ideas into everyday operational practice.
